Sumners Come for a Visit

Jeremy, Tricia, Josie,
and Marlo came for a visit
a couple weeks ago. Of
course the mild weather
decided to leave for the
weekend and the cold
followed them from
Minnesota (this is a
common occurance when
they come to KC). We had
a good time and the kids

got along perfectly! Watching a movie before bed

Josie was awesome with Adam. She will be great with her new brother or sister!

Raking/Playing in the Leaves

The boy's loved playing
in the leaves, and when it
came time to actually
clean them up, they were
a big help. Well, Adrian
was and Adam attempted
to be. :)

Fall Fun

We have enjoyed many
days at the park due to our
very mild fall!

I can't believe my baby is
a four-year-old! On the day of his birthday we went to Power Play.

Grandma and Papa from Minnesota came for his birthday party that weekend. Here is a pic of them on the Plaza after we ate at Cheesecake Factory.

Adrian got his first set of real Tiger Woods Nike golf clubs. Here are the wiffle golf balls he got with them. He is definitely NOT ready for the real thing yet. :)

It was a fun party with family.

Kayla, Adrian, Nate, Haley, Adam, and the Diego birthday cake that Adrian requested.

Time with Adam

Although I miss Adrian
when he is at school, I really
enjoy the alone time with Adam.

He really shows his personality when Adrian is gone

We love to take walks

As much as we enjoy Mommy/Adam time, he loves to be with his brother

We love Fall!!!

It has been awhile since I
have posted some pics.
We have been enjoying the
beautiful Kansas City fall.
The weather is always so
refreshing after a hot
summer!

The boys patiently waiting for their pumpkin cookies to finish baking.

I refuse to cut his hair!

We have been eating lunch outside most days. I love the easy clean-up.

McCain/Palin Rally

Beth and I went to see Sarah
Palin and John McCain when
they were in town on Monday.
When we arrived at 7:30am there
were already about 3,000 people
in line. We weren't very confident
about getting into the rally that
started at 10:30, but we were torwards
the end of the thousands that
made it in the building. There were
another 3,000 that didn't make it in
so there was an overflow area
outside where they could listen
to the speeches. It was an amazing
experience!

Jesse did amazing at the
rally. Future politician
maybe?
My pics of Sarah Palin
turned out dark which was
a bummer being that she
was the main reason we
battled the crowd, but this one
of McCain came out well with
Sarah on his left and Todd
Palin on his right.

I wish he could vote. :)
The "Straight Talk Express" passed us as we were leaving.
